Homebrew Witch Species Details
Haunted Like Human
Whether it be from the fear of being tried like their ancestors, like friends or family, Witches are usually very secretive for this reason. Some will cast protective sigils or hexes to ward off others finding out about the wrong thing, but this may not always work. Sometimes powers of a Witch, especially those born into a pre - existing bloodline, will be stunted, and may not take full effect until they're of age, usually around the age of eighteen. Other Witches, those more fortunate, will obtain and fully harness control of their powers at no earlier than the age of four or five. Both are equally as dangerous to show around townsfolk, and even the slightest difference in character may be a red - flag.
Born into a bloodline or otherwise, Witches are always wary of who knows about who knows what they are, or where they come from. For this reason, many Witches do not trust easily, and though may be close to certain individuals, always try to keep a safe distance, as to not get themselves hurt, or hurt the other in question.
Invitation of Evil
Contrary to popular belief, Witches do have an option for the use of their nature, and not all Witches are born into evil ; however, Witches do hold an open - door for malicious intent to creep its way through. Even the sweetest of witches can turn sour in the mere blink of an eye. No one knows exactly how these once caring and compassionate Witches turn so devilish in such little time, without warning, but Preachers have said that the soul is a window for creulty at a young age, and though not always exposed, young Witches do have the choice of turning a new leaf, or staying as they are. Not all Witches use their powers for evil, either. Most, if not all Witches, are usually healers, or tend to the injured and sick without a second thought. This, though, is not always the case and a once morally - good Witch can take a turn for the worst. As they had healed others, they may also heal themselves, or take away the life they gave originally. It is ultimately up to the Witch to see which side they choose to take, and it is difficult to sway or persuade a Witch to settle on the opposite.
Samhain
The Season of the Witch, or during the time of autumn, at the peak when the trees begin to die and the leaves change color, is rumored to be when Witches are at their strongest. Known Witches during this time are claimed to be dubbed as dangerous to be around, as not all can control their powers or what they do. It is best to steer clear of a Witch during this time, or rally to take them down.
Witch Personality
Secretive, reculsive, close - knit, and at times even cautious, Witches are equally as frightening as they are not. Some may be caring or natural empaths with the world around them, others will be the exact opposite. Witches, at time, can fight right in to their surroundings, or be completely outcasted from society. Either way, Witches should not be provoked by any means.
